DIED.-About two weeks ago Mr..
Jacob Hough was summoned home from
Platteville by news of the severe illness
of his young son George. The boy had
been attacked by malarial fever of a
violent type against which no remedies
were effectual, and after an illness of nine
days, he succumbed to the fatal disease.
On Thursday morning the sands of his
short life ran out and on Friday after
noon, at two o'clock, the funeral servi-
ces were held at the Methodist church,
Rev. J. F. Zeiglar officiating. The de
ceased was II years three months and
three days old. Life was but begin
ming when death came, yet as life and
death are one, the seeming end of life
here, is indeed but the beginning of the
larger life that we call death.

THELABOR MANS PARTY.

The Kansas Guy Tunes complains that
laboring men will not trust the Democratic
party. although it has always been liber-
tyloving party, with the good Of the work
ing classes at heart, and among other
claims to popular confidence, it was 'the
creator Of the homestead law" The put
ting forth of such a statement betrays alb
normal growth, amounting TO deform-
ity. of the gall The Democratic party
in congress fought the homestead law, and
it was passed 10y Republican votes. This
claim will do to go with another. that ''it, y
the Democratic party, placed suffrage

Democratic party did nothing of the kind.

"SNALED THE FATE OF THE CONFED
ERACY."

The Confederate General D. H. Hill.
gives, in the April Century, an account OF
The battle of Chicamauga, from the Con
federate standpoint He regards it as the
turning point of the war, and thinks 1t was
lost by the incompetency or inetficiency OF
Bragg and Polk Gen Hill says:
But whatever plumbers each OF MS IN
authority committed before the battles OF
the 18th and Goth iChicamauga), and dur
ing their progress, the great blunder OF al!
was that of not pursuing the enemy on the
21st. The day was spent IN burylng the
dead and gathering up the stores. Forrest,
with his usual promptness was early IN the
saddle, and saw that the retreat was rOut.
DisorganiZed masses Of men were hurrylng
to the rear; batteries of artillery were mex
tricably mixed with trains OF wagons; dis
order and confusion pervaded the broken
ranks struggling to get on. Forrest sent
back word to Bragg that every hour was
worth thousand men But the COM
mander-in chief did not know of the vic
tory till the morning OF the 2lst. and then
he did order pursuit. Rosecrans spent
the day and night of the 21st In hurrying
his trains out of town A breathing space
was allowed him; the panic among his
troops subsidized, and Chattanooga-the
object point of the campaign-was held.
There was no more splendid fighting in 81
when the flower Of the Southern youth
was in the field, than was displayed in
those bloody days of September. GO But
it seems to me that the elan of the South
ern soldier was never seen after Chlca-
mauga-that brilliant dash which had dis
| tinguished him on a hundred fields was
gone forever. He was too intelligent not
to know that the cutting in two of Georgia
meant death to all his hopes He knew
that LOngstreet's absence was imperiling
Lees safety, and that what had to be done
must be done quickly. The delay to
strike was evaporation to him; the failure
10 strike after the success was crushing to
all his longings for an independent south.
He fought stoutly to the last. but, after
Chicamauga, with the sulenness Of despair
and without the enthusiasm of hope. That
barren victory sealed the fate Of the South
ern COnfederacy."

THE QUESTION OF A MONUMENT.

There may be coolies of fun In killing
the goose that laid the golden egg and only
for the privilege of dancing over its corpse,
but the dividends arising from the CUES
tionable transaction won't burthen anybody.
The monuments to such like sprees are
scattered thickly enough about Kansas, and
they are tombstones whose size precludes
the possibility of overlooking them. Some
of the newer dancers were not privileged
to witness the funerals, bat they occurred
all the sane. Dissentions are most deslra-
BILE and to be coveted--in the ranks OF the

Searching for a LostfSon.

A week or two ago Mr.. Allen Colaw, OF
Crabbottom, this county, left for Toronto,
Woodson county, Kansas, where he goes in
search of his son, Mr.. Garrett Colaw, who
went West some four or five years ago, and
| who is now supposed to be dead. The last
time Mr.. G. was heard from was some
eighteen or twenty months age. The first
apprehension as to his safety was osca-
stoned by a communication from Kansas to
Valley payer, in which it was stated that
several persons from upper Pendleton and
the lower part Of Highland, some of whose
names we're given, had been drowned by
the upsetting of a canoe, in March, 1885,
Inquiry was made but no information
could be had. Some time after this, Mr..
Colaw received letter from party at
Toronto, in reference to his son, informing
him that his son had disappeared. but with
out stating any particulars. Mr.. Colaw
reported the matter, with all the informa-
tion he had, to the Commonwealth At
torney of Woodson county, and that officer,
We learn informed him that the same per-
son who wrote him Mr.. Colaw) had reported
there that young Cclaw had been murdered.
1t is further alleged that this same person
had sent for young Colaw, saying that he
had an important letter for him from his
(Colaw's) father, that the last seen of him he
was going to this party's house. 1t is un-
der these suspicious of foul play that Mr..
Colaw went to Kansas. Mr.. Garrett Colaw
was very prosperous young man, and it is
supposed had money. These rumors may
prove unreliable; but that Mr.. G. is mysteri-
ously missing is beyond doubt.-Highland
Recorder,
